Jurisdictional Dispute |
0.02 sec. |
|
Conflicting claims made by two different labor unions to an employer regarding assignment of the work or union representation. Two basic types of controversies ordinarily arise in such disputes. There can be a disagreement concerning whether certain work should be done by workers in one union or another. For example, there might be a dispute between employees in a carpenters' union and a glaziers' union concerning who should install frames for windows in an apartment building. When this type of dispute arises, there must exist evidence of a threat of coercive action in order for the national labor relations board (NLRB) to intervene by conducting a hearing and making an assignment of the work. A jurisdictional dispute might also arise concerning which union should represent employees who are performing a particular type of work. How to thank TFD for its existence?

Mergers of fire departments and districts must be judged on a case-by-case basis, but as a rule there often is much to be gained in terms of efficiency, reduced administrative costs, the elimination of duplication and an end to jurisdictional disputes. The jurisdictional dispute is likely to add to the strain on the close relationship that developed between the two unions' leadership during their unsuccessful bid to consolidate. If approved, the unions would form SAG-AFTRA, which would represent 120,000 members and could help end jurisdictional disputes. |
